Some things are local, of course. I live relatively far away from you: a small town near Schwerin, which is the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (most people have never heard of Schwerin, interestingly). The town is called Crivitz and is slightly horrible, if anyone cares. If any of you live in Wisconsin, there's a town/village/whatever it is founded by emigrants from here and also called Crivitz there.
